in his "payness."

I don't know why I said "payness."

That was weird.

Yeah. Well, good. I'm glad he told you.

He needs people around him that he can

open up to right now, people he can trust.

- I can be that person.

- That's good.

Should I get him a gift or something?

- Balloons or a cake?

- Balloons, probably not.

A cake. You should get him a cake

and you should have it say:

"You're gay, you're fabulous."

- Really?

- No, heh.

- Don't make him feel weird.

- You're right. Nothing has to change.

- Are you okay?

- Definitely. Definitely.

I'm not feeling weird about losing

my best friend to the gay side. All good.

Keep on trucking. We're knuckleheads.

Take it to the bank, sister.

Think about that.

Matty, you're in a band, really?

Oh, yeah, it's a instrumental

TV theme song cover band.

But we don't wanna put a label on it.

Smart. Don't let the man

tell you who you are.

Ever think about adding the

popular part of music, singing?

- Well, yeah.

- Little tip. It might help you in the audition.

Good to know.

- Michael, you need a pen?

- No.

- I'm with him.

- Oh, are you really?

Because you weren't yesterday

at practice when we needed you.

I called you and everyone was like,

"Where is Michael?"

- Can I just talk to you for a second?

- Sure.

I'll turn the volume up

so we can talk without anyone hearing.

So you punched the brownie?

That's not like you.

You love baked goods.

I'm not gonna lie to you, man.

You being gay all of a sudden,

like, without warning, I was a little mad.

And confused.

But I thought about the whole thing.

I've really thought about it

and, you know, it's cool.

Seriously, I even stayed up and fixed

the brownie. I did major structural repairs.

That's awesome, man. Thanks.

It looks even better. I frosted

some d*cks and butts on it in your honor.

- D*cks and butts? You're a great friend.

- I'm onboard.

I wanna go on this gay journey with you.

You're my best friend.

Nothing has to change.

We're still... We're on a mission.

We need to

get each other laid by prom.

We need to get these d*cks wet, bro,

or whatever you call it with gay guys.

Get sh*t on your dick?

Get shitty-dicked?

There's probably a better term for it.

So we're doing this, man.

I wanna get you laid.

- You're in, right?

- I'm in.

There's a lot of fish in the sea.

Lady fish and dude fish.

Straight fish and gay fish.

- High school dudes are weird.

- Yeah, not great.

Holy sh*t. This is it. The mother lode.

Oh, dude. Theater kids?

No, I don't think I should

talk to them right now.

Put your ass out there

if you wanna get something put in it.

I just came out. I have to go talk

to other gay people immediately?
